A Month Later

So its been exactly a month since my TMJ replacement and while the scar is looking good, my vision is still messed up. Plus I think I have a cracked/broken tooth but it will be months before that can be even looked at properly, so yay :p

I don't regret doing it, don't think that, never mind I didn't have a choice in it because of how bad it was getting, just a little annoyed since the pain has flared back up. Its still bruised, which is odd but doesn't show up in photos oddly enough. So happy that its been a month and the scar is looking good, not happy since the pain has come back.

Anyway a photo update of the scar :)

I can't really touch my face without it feeling like I am being prodded with a cattle prod, hence why there is still dried blood in places. Swelling has gone down, another good point, just a pain in the butt to have to go back to eating yogurt all the time :p

its not a common one since people tend to just pass the problems down to getting old or dont even have any pain with it so don't think anything of it, having the surgery done tho can help people a lot :) and thank you

Jennifer, you are very brave to have undergone this major surgery. I've studied some anatomy and physiology, and appreciate the seriousness of this. A lot of facial nerves have been jostled and bruised, and will take months to settle down. I hope all continues to heal beautifully!Kathryn
